<p>I am female. </p>
<p>The only problem is that many of the schools which offer astrophysics are extremely competitive, such as Yale and Princeton (or any of the ivys for that matter), and even if I was accepted would have no chance of a scholarship. I am applying to Colgate and Rutgers as of now, and am in the process of trying to find more which seem a good fit. </p>
<p>Another thing I was considering is whether doubling in Physics&Astronomy would be worse/better than just majoring in Astrophysics.</p>
